Repair patch in Floorpan
Turbo Mini Forums

I have got to repair a few holes in the floorpan of the metro and was just wondering what thickness metal people would recommend using as a repair patch. Its to cover the hole in the attached picture. Is there a required spec for passing the MOT.

Thanks very much
Luke

I have some spare floor pieces which i have welded into the car but i need to remove if your interested. You could butcher one to fir that piece!

MOT requires it is a constant seam of weld all round :) or if it is a complete repair panel that it is weled as-per the origional pannel.

And weld the jacking point back on underneath,else that will fail for being in secure
